Memory search instead of template matching? Representation-guided inference in same-different performance.

Data from two experiments using transformationally related patterns forming rotation/reflection equivalence sets of different sizes are presented. In a same-different experiment, two successively presented patterns were judged as same when they belonged ...

Motor imagery in mental rotation: an fMRI study.

Twelve right-handed men performed two mental rotation tasks and two control tasks while whole-head functional magnetic resonance imaging was applied. Mental rotation tasks implied the comparison of different sorts of stimulus pairs, viz. pictures of ...

Parietal magnetic stimulation delays visuomotor mental rotation at increased processing demands.

Visuomotor rotation (VMR) is a variant of the classic mental rotation paradigm. Subjects perform a center-out arm reaching movement, with the instruction to point clockwise or anticlockwise away from the direction of a reaction signal by a prespecified ...

Movement-related potentials associated with self-paced, cued and imagined arm movements.

Self-paced movements, movement to a cue and imagined movement have all been reported to be preceded by a prolonged negativity on averaged electroencephalograph (EEG) recordings. Considerable evidence supports an important contribution from the ...

Viewpoint dependency in the recognition of dynamic scenes.

In 3 experiments, the question of viewpoint dependency in mental representations of dynamic scenes was addressed. Participants viewed film clips of soccer episodes from 1 or 2 viewpoints; they were then required to discriminate between video stills of ...

The use of brainstorming for teaching human anatomy.

Interactive teaching techniques have been used mainly in clinical teaching, with little attention given to their use in basic science teaching. With the aim of partially filling this gap, this study outlines an interactive approach to teaching anatomy ...

Somatotopic mapping of the human primary sensorimotor cortex during motor imagery and motor execution by functional magnetic resonance imaging.

The human primary sensorimotor cortex was investigated for somatotopic organization during motor imagery (IM) which was compared to motor execution (EM). Block designed BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent)-functional magnetic resonance imaging at 1.5 ...

A H(2)(15)O positron emission tomography study on mental imagery of movement sequences--the effect of modulating sequence length and direction.

Motor imagery is a state of mental rehearsal of single movements or movement patterns and has been shown to recruit motor networks overlapping with those activated during movement execution. We wished to examine whether the brain areas subserving control ...

Enhancement of images of possible memories of others during exposure to circumcerebral magnetic fields: correlations with ambient geomagnetic activity.

On the basis of results from a special subject who reported information at a distance during exposure to weak, circumcerebral magnetic fields rotating within the horizontal plane, we designed an experiment to discern if the subjective narratives of ...

The role of the parahippocampal gyrus in source memory for external and internal events.

We can discriminate between the memories of real and imagined events. In this study, the traces of the perceived external events and the imagined internal events were investigated in the established paradigm of reality monitoring using event-related ...
